Aftermath

Description

The year is 2032 and Britain has suffered a massive attack that has knocked out all communications, infrastructure and governmental institutions.  

Alex Brodie was raised in a military family.  Her father served in Afghanistan, her brother Corin is in the SAS and her fiancé Garry serves in the Royal Navy.  While girls her age enjoyed
what they saw as normal lives, Alex learned to shoot, excel in self-defence, forage, attain knife handling skills and drive armoured vehicles.  She was mocked for it by her school
colleagues.

But when Britain suffers a sudden, unexpected and savage attack from both inside and outside the country, everything for her changes.  With cities and towns devastated, millions are left to fend for themselves in the rapidly disintegrating society.

Now the skills she was ridiculed for learning become the difference between survival and death.  With both her parents dead, Alex decides to search for her fiancé and leaves her home in Abingdon, just south of the ruined city of Oxford, to find Garry in Portsmouth where he was based.

However the journey south would be fraught with hazards with roads littered with abandoned, wrecked and looted vehicles, and supplies running out fast.  The centres of population are descending into feral anarchy with survivors turning to more desperate measures to feed themselves. 

Alex will have to find a way to overcome these dangers if she is to reach the south coast, and will have to turn to her survival skills to overcome gangs of rampaging looters and organised criminals who are now free from any public censure.
